localhost:11.0 is on Dragonfly. ssh sets up a proxy X server on the remote 
host which just forwards the X protocol to the local host (Godzilla) through 
the ssh connection.

Actually, based on the diagnostic output I accidentally left in, it's using 
display :1. (I wrote it so it would automatically find the first available 
display number, so you can actually run it multiple times concurrently, once 
we get it working.)

As far as the error goes, it sounds like it's a problem with FC2's X setup. 
Can you see if it works *from* a Gentoo box? Also, perhaps there's something 
about 'nolisten tcp' in your xorg.conf? Or in the way they built it? AFAIK, 
your X server has to accept TCP connections to use SSH X forwarding.
